BP Solutions Advisor at ESRI
Charlotte, North Carolina Area
My entire professional career has been involved directly in some aspect of GIS - from programming to management to teaching to consulting and more. ESRI gives me the opportunity to work with the GISCI and other professional organizations as well as speaking reguarly at conferences on the topic of emerging trends in GIS. This field is rapidly changing and I look forward to developing my skills and knowledge further to help promote the potential of this technology. My personal passions include history and I enjoy opportunities when I can combine these interests such as my personal investigation to use GIS to help locate colonial roads through the Carolinas.
I received my GISP in 2004 and study system architecture, licensing, and management techniques for GIS in local government and business. I also spend a great deal of my time investigating new technology and identifying the integration capabilities for our partners to exploit.
